After Li Qima left, Han Li released his divine sense to explore the villa, finding nothing amiss. He waved his hand, setting up layers of restrictions in various places, before turning and heading to a room deep within the villa.

He set up several layers of restrictions here as well before finally entering the Flower Branch Space.

Xiao Bai was pacing back and forth in the open space in front of the bamboo building. Seeing Han Li appear, it hurriedly greeted him.

"Alright, there's no one else here now. Tell me about Jin Tong. How did you encounter the people from the Nine Yuan Temple, and who captured her?" Han Li asked in a deep voice.

"That day, after老大 and I left the Master, we wandered to the Golden Source Immortal Realm and managed to find the Gold Devouring Immortal you had encountered before. 老大 spent a lot of effort to finally devour it, and her cultivation successfully broke through to the Grand Luo Realm," Xiao Bai said quickly.

Han Li was overjoyed to hear that Jin Tong had reached the Grand Luo Realm, but that joy quickly subsided.

If Jin Tong's strength reached the Grand Luo Realm and she was still captured, then the person who took action must be extremely powerful. Rescuing her would be difficult.

Sure enough, Xiao Bai's next words confirmed his guess.

"But who would have thought that the Gold Devouring Immortal actually had an owner, and that person was a powerful figure within the Nine Yuan Temple. He personally pursued老大 and me. We tried our best to escape for many years, but we were still caught. That person was very strong. After a battle, 老大 was captured, but at the last moment, she used her magic to break open the void and send me out, telling me to find you to save her. I didn't expect to see you so soon."

Xiao Bai was eloquent and quickly recounted the whole story.

"Do you know the name of the person who captured you, and his status in the Nine Yuan Temple?" Han Li listened to all of this in silence for a moment, then asked.

"That person is called Gui Lingzi, and he seems to be one of the Four Great Holy Envoys of the Nine Yuan Temple." Xiao Bai shuddered, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes.

"Gui Lingzi..." Han Li narrowed his eyes.

He had learned a lot about the Nine Yuan Temple from Lan Yan, including information about this Gui Lingzi. It was said that this person's strength was even above that of Myo Fa Immortal Venerable, and he was faintly the leader of the Four Great Holy Envoys.

Han Li frowned slightly. Myo Fa Immortal Venerable's strength was already very strong, let alone this even stronger Gui Lingzi.

"Master, don't worry. That person didn't capture老大 to harm her. It seems that he intends to use老大 as a gift to be given to someone at some Bodhi Banquet. She should be safe for the time being," Xiao Bai said hurriedly, seeing Han Li's expression.

"Bodhi Banquet?" Han Li's expression changed. He had never heard of this name before, but it sounded like some kind of grand event.

After a moment of contemplation, he took out the Reincarnation Hall mask and offered a high reward for information about the Bodhi Banquet. Xiao Bai, seeing this, wisely waited quietly to the side.

Unexpectedly, someone responded quickly.

According to legend, the Bodhi Banquet is a grand event held by the Heavenly Court every five million years, with a long history.

The Bodhi Banquet originated from a Bodhi Dao Tree in the Heavenly Court. It is said that this tree is an immortal spiritual root that existed before the separation of heaven and earth in ancient times. The Bodhi Dao Fruit it bears has unparalleled power. Eating one can increase cultivation by ten million years.

Moreover, after taking the Bodhi Dao Fruit, there is a certain chance that the physical body will turn into a Bodhi Dao Body. This Dao Body is of great help to the cultivation of all laws and is extremely precious.

This Bodhi Dao Fruit originally took hundreds of millions of years to blossom and bear fruit once, but the Time Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Court used his unparalleled divine power to make this tree bear fruit every five million years. Moreover, every time the Bodhi Dao Fruit matured, the Time Dao Ancestor did not hoard it for himself, but invited the powerful forces of the major immortal realms to gather together and hold a grand banquet, distributing the obtained Bodhi Dao Fruit. Thus, there was the Bodhi Banquet every five million years.

Long ago, the Bodhi Banquet was a banquet to discuss the distribution of the Bodhi Dao Fruit, but as the fame of the Bodhi Dao Fruit spread, more and more forces requested to participate in the grand event, and the scale became larger and larger. The Bodhi Dao Fruit was in short supply, and the major forces began to offer generous gifts to the Time Dao Ancestor in exchange for a Bodhi Dao Fruit.

As more and more forces participated in the Bodhi Banquet, this banquet was no longer just an event to distribute Dao Fruit. The major forces used the grand banquet to connect with each other, discuss important matters, and establish alliances.

Today, the Bodhi Banquet is the largest event in the Heavenly Court and even the entire True Immortal Realm.

And the next Bodhi Banquet is less than three thousand years away.

Han Li frowned when he saw this situation.

According to Xiao Bai, Gui Lingzi probably wanted to offer Jin Tong to the Heavenly Court at the Bodhi Banquet, or even directly to the Time Dao Ancestor.

According to the information provided by the Reincarnation Hall, the Time Dao Ancestor has a preference for all kinds of peculiar things, whether they are strange natural treasures or rare and exotic animals. It is estimated that Gui Lingzi thought that the Gold Devouring Immortal was rare, so he planned to offer it to the Time Dao Ancestor.

If Jin Tong was in Gui Lingzi's hands, he might still be able to rescue her. Once Jin Tong arrived at the Time Dao Ancestor's place, Han Li would not even think about taking her back.

Although Jiao San said that there would be a mission about the Nine Yuan Temple that could help him rescue Jin Tong, it was uncertain how much help the Reincarnation Hall could give him. He could only rely on himself.

Only three thousand years was really tight.

If he wanted to take his cultivation a step further, he needed to find two more time law objects that matched the time law crystal threads on the Eastern Azure Divine Wood and the Illusionary Star Hourglass.

But matching time law objects were hard to come by.

He was lucky enough to get a Water Reflection Time King Crystal earlier, but how could such a good thing happen again?

"I will find a way to rescue Jin Tong. Xiao Bai, you just woke up. Take these things and devour them, and recover well." Various thoughts flashed through Han Li's mind, and he waved his hand, taking out a large pile of various immortal artifacts and materials for Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the pile of immortal artifacts, and he hurriedly thanked him.

"By the way, Master, when 老大 and I captured that Gold Devouring Immortal, we sneaked into the Nine Yuan Temple. I found this thing inside, but I can't digest it at all. It should be useful to you." Xiao Bai was about to devour a few immortal artifacts when he suddenly remembered something and said.

Then it opened its mouth and spat out an earthen yellow alms bowl, which flew out and landed in front of Han Li.

The alms bowl looked a little broken and seemed to be a very old antique with golden lines engraved on it.

"This is..." Han Li's eyes lit up, staring at the alms bowl, and he was stunned.

The alms bowl exuded a powerful law fluctuation, not anything else, but the time law fluctuation, which was very similar to the time law on the Illusionary Star Hourglass.

Moreover, the power of the time law emitted from this alms bowl was extremely large, even surpassing the Water Reflection Time King Crystal he had obtained not long ago.

"Xiao Bai, well done, this is exactly what I need!" He hugged Xiao Bai and rubbed its head vigorously, saying excitedly.

"Could it be that my luck has started to turn recently, and I'm getting time law objects one after another!" Han Li couldn't help but think to himself.

"It's good that this thing is useful to you, Master. I'm going to cultivate first." Xiao Bai grinned and flew to the side with the immortal artifact materials Han Li gave him.

Han Li took the alms bowl and looked it over, becoming more and more excited.

Then he took a deep breath, calmed his excited mind, sat down cross-legged, and activated the Grand Five Elements Illusionary World Technique. Five golden lights flew out, condensing into the golden ring, wrapping the earthen yellow alms bowl.

"Crack!"

The earthen yellow alms bowl shattered, and countless sand-like golden light spots flew out and merged into the golden ring.

Then the golden light on the ring flickered, and golden crystal threads condensed out, as many as sixty-three, all flying and wrapping around the Illusionary Star Hourglass.

The power of time law in Han Li's body surged again, and it became smoother to operate, and he couldn't help but rejoice again.

Now only the last Eastern Azure Divine Wood was left. As long as he found a matching time law object, he could once again break through to the Grand Luo Realm.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and he took out the Reincarnation Hall mask again, raising the price of purchasing time law objects by a full 50%.

What was most important to him now was time. Now there were less than three thousand years until the Bodhi Banquet. This time was not long, especially for people of his cultivation level. It was just the time of a retreat, and it would pass in an instant.

Han Li had to advance to the Grand Luo Realm before the Bodhi Banquet to have the possibility of sneaking into the Nine Yuan Temple to rescue Jin Tong.

As for the Immortal Essence Stones, he didn't care. He had as many as 70 million Immortal Essence Stones in his hand, which was more than enough.

Han Li took off the Reincarnation Hall mask and pondered for a moment. First, he left the Flower Branch Space and came outside the villa, asking the servants outside to notify Li Qima that he planned to continue staying in the Eight Desolate Mountain.

Then he returned to the inner room, entered the Flower Branch Space again, and waved his hand.

A silver light flew out of Han Li's sleeve, which was the Essence Flame Boy.

"In the next few hundred years, I have a very important thing to do, and I may need your strength. From today on, you will stay here and cultivate the white fire bead. As for the vitality you lost, I will find a way to help you recover." He said to the Essence Flame Boy.

The Essence Flame Boy tilted his head and looked at Han Li twice, then nodded and flew to a corner of the Flower Branch Space.

The silver flame on his body flickered, turning into a silver fireball the size of a zhang, rolling and surging. In the silver flame, the white fire bead spun around, emitting powerful fire law fluctuations.

Han Li showed a hint of joy when he saw this scene, then turned his head to look at the pavilion in the distance.

Faint ghost howls were heard from the pavilion. The Wailing Soul was still in retreat, and it was unknown when he would wake up.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, but did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he took out a palm-sized jade tablet, on which was engraved a complex magic array diagram, which was the diagram of the Light and Shadow Heavenly Pivot Array.

After traveling back from the Mantra Gate, Han Li was afraid that he would forget after a long time, so he engraved the array diagram on this jade tablet.

He still had many things to do now, comprehending the Sky Piercing Sword Formation, cultivating the "Reverse True Wheel" and "Law Speech World" and other time divine powers. Not only was he advancing to the Grand Luo Realm, but time was also not enough no matter what. If he could create a time difference space like the Mantra Gate, all problems could be solved.

Although there was still an important problem to be solved in order to build a time difference space, he still planned to start setting it up first.
